Q: When you can combine two things that you love, should you?

A: Yes - especially if it's art and PMs.

2Oz Ultra-high relief silver coin and, for the life of me, I just can't take a picture that really helps this one stand out as much as it does. It has probably the cleanest detail lines I've ever seen on a coin. Truly, The Polish Mint is astounding for quality. There's so many layers of things going on that it is now my favourite coin. You can just see the cats either side of Freyja in this one, but they pop out at other angles. One day, I hope to have some of my art made into coins like this - gotta have a dream somewhere...!

 

Thanks to@PowerCoin

Love it!

Big thanks to @lst65 for today's arrival. 

Hard coin to beat bullion wise in my humble opinion. yes the design stays the same,but if its not broke, why fix it.

[lst65]

You’re more than welcome @James32 It’s virtually brand new and it’s nice to deal with a true gent. Enjoy. 🙏

Looks lovely, I've got one coming from Ist65 on Tuesday as well - It's my favourite coin - just feels and looks like gold should😀

Yeah that's an excellent way to put it, it looks like gold should.

Hands down the best looking 1oz coin out there. B-E-A-U-T-I-ful

Think @HANDF nails it above, it just looks like gold should! No overly polished shiny fields, mixed with the high relief and incuse lettering on the reverse. That's before even getting started on the nostalgia with old westerns etc 😅

Thanks to @ilovesilverireallydo, two lovely Perth Mint Sovereigns for my daughters.

[TheShinyStuff]

Another Brit for the date run, this time a 2003, another purchase from the gent that is @PapaLazarou, thanks again.

And this little heptagonal opinion divider. I think it looks great, I don't generally like the multitude of 50p proofs that get churned out, or coloured coins for that matter, but this one is cool. (I think...)

I have found the later ones generally much more difficult to find than the early ones. Not a single 1928 on ebay last couple of times I looked!

I got one, will cost you $5000..lol.

Oof, just looked them up, the Philadelphia mint is super low mintage. At the minute any 1928 will do lol. 

I always assumed the 1921 was the priciest!

2021 35th Anniversary Gold Proof 1oz Nugget & Minions

 

With an absurdly low mintage of just 100, the opportunity to pay spot+1% for a proof 1oz coin with a recognised pedigree was somewhat of a "no-brainer". 

 

Many thanks to @James32 who also provided the two 1/4 proof Nuggets (mintage 300) at an excellent price.

 

My only qualm is that the Perth MInt's idea of "proof" is somewhat inferior to that of the RAM - Betty's complexion on all these coins seems to be on a par with the surface of the nugget.

1/4 not 1/10

I am not one for grading gold, but these coins are for my non-Sov error collection.  Thanks to COTR who I used for the grading.

The Peace Dollar was purchased from a forum member

The one Pound error was found in a bag of £1 coins that I received from a bank (I was not sorting through coins so something of a miracle to find this!)

Got given this from my youngest daughter today. A mini sterling silver tankard. Great for filling with rum or.... With mini ship gold coins!!

That is amazing. I really like that sort of error on bimetallic coins as it's clearly evident that it's a mint error rather than anything someone could possibly have done to the coin post-mint.

I have a couple like this (one from 2016 and one from 2017) but I suspect they're probably not rare enough to be worth grading:

Hello dear collector friends, the Komsco from South Korea make beautiful things. I recently received the kilo of Archangel Michael with great pleasure. Small edition of only 333 copies. Here on the photos in solo and in the circle of other issues. Greetings from Maxe.

Beautiful!!

The 1kg... Wow!  I look forward to the day that you wish to part ways with it!

A nice before and after NGC conservation study here, on a very lovely 1923SA 1/2 proof. I knew it was nice, but I always struggle to see through the haze with confidence. Came back PF65 🙂

Das 1kg... Wow! Ich freue mich auf den Tag, an dem Sie sich davon trennen wollen!

....... Mate, it's not going to happen anytime soon, it looks so fantastic in person, that 3D embossing in high relief is a work of art in my eyes.

Deliveries from this weekend

got both of the pride silver proof 50p.  I did cancel the 50p to order the Piedfort but RM send, and charged, for both.  Also a cheeky little half Brit thanks to @Dazzlinh

[SlowFrog]

Bought this for 20 quid in a local Cash Converters! Edited just to say I have realised this looks gold when viewed on my phone! For the avoidance of any confusion, this is a silver crown, not a sovereign!
